Opis

The Constructive Mind presents the life, work and legacy of Frederic Bartlett (1886-1969), one of the leading psychologists of the twentieth century. Wagoner describes Bartlett's fundamental ideas - such as constructive remembering, imagining, thinking, schema and cultural dynamics - and how these have developed from Bartlett's time until today.

Recenzje

'… the book is a very broad and interesting presentation of Bartlett as a theoretician who combined psychology with anthropology a century ago. The combination of the historical and the presentist aims is successful …' Csaba Pléh, Culture & Psychology
